Following the news of "The Walking Dead" showrunner Glen Mazzara after the conclusion of the show's third season, AMC has announced current executive producer Scott Gimple will step in as showrunner. Gimple joined the AMC drama as Mazzara's No. 2 after Frank Darabont left the show. The "Life" and "FlashForward" veteran will be the show's third showrunner.

Vulture, the outlet that originally posted the rumor, stands by the accuracy of its original report, citing a "source very familiar with the situation" as stating Snyder recently met with Lucasfilm executives about the project.

With varying reports as the accuracy of Snyder's involvement in a "Star Wars" offshoot film, expect this rumor to get more confusing before it becomes clearer.

"As we speak, we're talking about that," the actor told MTV. "Obviously Marvel is a great family that I'm happy to be working with. We had a great time on ['Thor'], so I'd love to continue that relationship."

Sebastian Stan spoke briefly with Broadway.com about his return to the role of Bucky Barnes in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and his excitement at the opportunity to reprise the character.

"I’m completely excited to venture down that path. This is why January 1, 2013, was a glorious day to wake up to," Stan told Broadway.com "I’m very grateful and very lucky for what’s going on right now. I think you have to allow yourself to be excited about the magnitude of something like ['Captain America']."
